At Enerdes, we have been developing and manufacturing heaters and heating systems since 1910. With our extensive experience in greenhouse construction, agriculture and horticulture, we know how to create a heating system that is completely tailored to your greenhouse and maintains the perfect temperature for your crops.

Heating systems for the most stable climateThe advantages of an Enerdes Greenhouse Heating System is improved plant health, increased crop yield, reduced risk of plant diseases and mold development. Enerdes is a global supplier of greenhouse heating systems for big commercial , industrial greenhouses.
The main use for boilers is heating the greenhouse. Heat is transported from the boiler room to the greenhouse and subsequently distributed into all areas. A boiler room is completely filled with an integrated greenhouse heating system that has many components which are all dependent on each other, like a boiler, Flue gas condenser, CO2 enrichment system, head manifold and group dividers. Our experts can help you with an optimal selection and sizing of these components as well as their installation and interconnection. Read more
There are many ways to produce heat for a greenhouse, but a smart way is to combine it with the electricity generated for the greenhouse: a process called cogeneration (COGEN). During cogeneration, electricity is generated for the greenhouse. The by-products of heat and the CO2 in the exhaust gasses can be used for the greenhouse as well, in order to save fuel and thus costs. Read more
When the produced heat cannot be used directly in the greenhouse, the heat is stored in the heat storage tank. The stored heat can then be used at another moment when there is a demand for heat.The heat demand determines the heat storage: no more heat can be stored than can be used in the short term. To minimize heat loss, it is important that the heat demand is correctly matched with the capacity of the boilers and the size of the heat storage tank. Read more
A tubular system will be laid out throughout the entire greenhouse. Pumps and valves are installed, to pump the right amount of water to the desired areas in the greenhouse. Based on the temperature measured by thermostats (temperature sensors hanging at strategic locations in the greenhouse) the pumps and valves are controlled and thus the temperature in all greenhouse areas is meticulously controlled.

For many climates, additional heating may be necessary in colder seasons, but additional cooling is necessary in the summer. Simply venting may not be enough to dispose of excessive heat and/or lower humidity levels.
Enerdes greenhouse climate control systems fully integrate both. Our systems save measured temperature and humidity data of your greenhouse and use them to anticipate the heating and cooling demand of your greenhouse. This leads to smooth temperature control in your greenhouse and constant temperature and humidity levels.

An adequate heating system is one of the most important components in a successful greenhouse. In order to grow quality crops with a profit, it is essential that the heating system in your greenhouse is energy efficient and robust.
On top of that air quality is very important for your crops. Part of this is the CO2 concentration in your greenhouse. You can increase the CO2 level in your greenhouse with a CO2 enrichment system. This is beneficial for plant growth and crop yield. At Enerdes we can develop systems that fully integrate heating and Carbon Dioxide enrichment for your greenhouse, saving you a lot of costs.
It is essential to maintain the optimal temperature in your greenhouse for your plant health and growth. Creating a homogeneous temperature distribution in all areas and corners of your greenhouse is beneficial for high quality plants and a high crop yield.
However, if you do not have a proper lay-out of your greenhouse heating system, it can become very costly to obtain the right temperature. On the other hand, an inferior heating system can lead to crop losses. Some areas may become too hot, others may stay too cold. Plants in different areas of the greenhouse will show different growing rates. Temperature differences will also lead to absolute humidity differences. Consequently, plant diseases and mold development may occur in some areas if heating and cooling systems do not operate adequately.
In very few climates, it is sufficient to heat your greenhouse with solar energy. In sunny seasons the sun will provide enough light and radiation to heat the greenhouse to the desired temperature. However, in colder seasons like the winter period or during nights, it may be necessary to have additional heating in your greenhouse.
Temperature control is a major component of the greenhouse climate control system.
Much additional heating may be required if your greenhouse is located in a climate with serious winter weather.
Depending on your crop type, the allowed minimum temperature in your greenhouse is determined. With this and your greenhouse type and the greenhouse volume, the required heating system is determined and dimensioned.
In climates with regular snowfall, snow protection can be included. A snow-tube circuit is integrated in the heating system, and placed on top of the greenhouse.
With a dedicated snowmelt system, the snow is melted from the greenhouse roof, without having to open the vents. Snow no longer blocks the light, and your plants can happily grow.
Boiler rooms serve to heat the greenhouse, produce CO2, store heat and produce steam for disinfecting material. The boiler room must comply with legal requirements and guidelines.
Many different installations are placed in the boiler room, many of which are dependent on each other and therefore need to be properly coordinated. For example, there are boilers in the boiler room, with flue gas condensers if necessary. But also a CO2 installation, main distribution lines and group divider are often part of a boiler room.
The boilers are used for heating the greenhouse, producing CO2, and possibly steam. A boiler is dimensioned to meet the required heat demand, which is determined by a climate analysis. A boiler can run on different fuels depending on availability and local legislation.
For many climates, additional heating may be necessary in colder seasons, but additional cooling is necessary in the summer. Simply venting may not be enough to dispose of excessive heat and/or lower humidity levels.
